[Verse 1]
Inside my loneliness and sorting through the mess
I came across a bunch of snaps and letters
I found an eight by ten, taken God knows when
It took me back to when we found each other

[Chorus]
How did I let it start?
If I could only remember
Oh, oh, why did I break your heart?

[Verse 2]
The tender parts we played
I thought we had it made
The recipe for life, the perfect fusion
But when the love turned sour
I found the happy hour
But drinking for the world is no solution

[Chorus]
How did I let it start?
If I could only remember
Oh, oh, why did I break your heart?
Can't we go back to the start?
I needed someone to tell me
Oh, oh, why did I break your heart?
[Bridge]
The cost of loving is a heavy burden
Somebody's gotta take the strain
The things we said would make a cover story
But who's gonna say
Who should take all the blame?

[Verse 3]
We analysed ourselves
It didn't really help
No one to referee, no rhyme no reason
I thought we had the best
But when you flew the nest
My heart decided it was open season

[Chorus]
How did I let it start?
If I could only remember
Oh, oh, why did I break your heart?
Can't we go back to the start?
I needed someone to help me
Oh, oh, why did I break your heart?

[Outro]
Why did I break your heart?
Why did I break your heart?
